The company

We are a volunteer-run company, responsible for the preserved Great Central Main Line north of Loughborough, including Rushcliffe Halt and the branch to Ruddington Fields, our base.

Starting just outside Rushcliffe Country Park, we are on a mission to restore eight miles of railway, as park of the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre.

If you would like to join in, and meet like-minded people working on transport history in all shapes and sizes, why not get in-touch, or visit us this weekend to find out more.

Following a sucessful season of Christmas Specials in December 2024, passenger trains will run on selected dates throughout 2025. See our events page for details. 

For heritage rail services from Loughborough to Leicester, see gcrailway.co.uk.
